History of the authorities: The institution of the public prosecutor developed in Baden according to the French model since 1831 and was fully developed until 1845. The main task of the public prosecutor's offices was to investigate punishable acts according to the principle of legality, to bring charges if necessary and to make the evidence available to the court. In addition, they initially also had tasks in the field of voluntary (guardianship matters) and contentious jurisdiction (inheritance and incapacitation matters). As a consequence of the Reichsjustizgesetze of 1879, however, they lost their tasks in the area of voluntary jurisdiction. As a rule, the public prosecutor's offices at the district courts also performed the duties of the district attorneys at the district courts. The Freiburg public prosecutor's office had had a branch in Lörrach since 1919; it was closed in 1931, but reestablished three years later in 1934. Inventory history: The newly formed inventory A 40/1 - Public Prosecutor's Office Freiburg consists of various inventories and parts. The documents of the Freiburg public prosecutor's office previously held under the signatures A 40/1, A 40/2, A 40/3 and A 40/4 were brought together by way of systematic stocktaking by the higher authorities of the judiciary. In addition, in the more recent deliveries of the public prosecutor's offices in Freiburg and Lörrach, the documents that had been created before 1945 were determined and also assigned to the existing holdings. The allocation criterion was the file number assigned by the public prosecutor's office. Thus extensive documents from the holdings F 176/1, F 176/3, F 176/6, F 176/13, F 176/14, F 176/19 as well as F 177/1 and F 177/2 came into the present holdings. He now unites all documents of the Freiburg Public Prosecutor's Office and his Lörrach branch that were created before 1945 and that reached the Freiburg Public Archives. In addition, it also contains documents that were created in the course of the prosecutor's activity as senior prosecutor at the Special Court of Freiburg and that were partly included in the above-mentioned deliveries, partly from the splinter inventories A 47/2 and A 47/3 were attached to the present inventory. according to the year of the investigation,2. according to the place of residence of the suspect,3. according to the alphabet of namesCollecting files: thematic and chronologicalPublic Prosecutor at the Special Court Freiburg:1. according to the year of the investigation,2. according to the place of residence of the suspect,3. according to the alphabet of namesIn addition to the capital crimes (above all murder, arson, fraud, etc.), the investigation files contain numerous political investigation proceedings. The Lörrach riots in connection with the murder of Walter Rathenau are to be mentioned separately, as are the documents on the early history of the NSDAP in the Freiburg area and the numerous political offences in the Third Reich. 770 order numbers in 10.2 m have now been added to the collection. The overall index refers to the order number, concordances between the former Freiburg signature and the now valid order number facilitate the retrieval of the documents already frequently cited in scientific and local historical literature.

History of the authorities: By decree of the Reich government of 21 March 1933, a special court was formed for each district of the Higher Regional Court. The special court responsible for the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court district was installed at the Mannheim Regional Court. These special courts were given criminal jurisdiction for offences under the "Ordinance of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State", which had been issued in reaction to the Reichstag fire of 27 February 1933 and which formed the legal background to the wave of arrests, particularly against Communists. In addition, the special courts were responsible for the offences according to the so-called "Heimtückeverordnung", which was cast into legal form in December 1934 under aggravation of the threat of punishment. Originally limited to purely "political" offences, special jurisdiction was extended in 1938 to include areas of "normal" crime. With a decree issued at the beginning of the war in 1939, any offence could be brought before a special court if "public order and security were particularly seriously endangered by the offence". New penal regulations also followed with the beginning of the war. The most important are briefly mentioned here:1. the "Kriegssonderstrafrechtsverordnung" of 17 August 1938 concerned the offences "Wehrkraftzetzung", "Wehrdiensttziehung" and "Selbstverstümmelung", which - depending on the severity of the offence - were placed under death penalty.2The "Ordinance on Extraordinary Broadcasting Measures" of 1 September 1939 punished the listening of foreign broadcasters with imprisonment, in severe cases with the death penalty.3 The "War Economics Ordinance" of 4 September 1939 punished black slaughter, food card fraud and similar offences.4The "Verordnung gegen Volksschädlinge" of 5 September tightened the penal provisions for property offences if the offence was committed "by exploiting the state of war" or "the healthy feeling of the people" "required" this.5 The "Verordnung zum Schutz gegen jugendliche Schwerverbrecher" of 4 October 1939 also made it possible to pronounce the death penalty against criminals who were only 16 years old.6The "Ordinance against Violent Criminals" issued on 5 December 1939 made it possible to impose death sentences for any type of capital crime.All these ordinances led to a tremendous increase in the workload in the Special Courts.Further Special Courts were therefore established, including the Special Court Freiburg im Breisgau from 1 November 1940, which was responsible for the Regional Court districts of Freiburg, Constance, Offenburg and Waldshut. The specially established public prosecutor's office at the Freiburg Special Court initiated more than 1,000 proceedings in the four and a half years up to April 1945. Of these, the records of 727 cases have been preserved. Most of the proceedings, about 30 of which were opened on the basis of the "Heimtückegesetz", were followed by "Kriegswirtschaftsverbrechen" with 23 The proceedings on the basis of the "Volksschädlingsverordnung" comprised 12 the so-called "Rundfunkverbrechen" 14

In the State Treaty of 7 December 1849, Prince Karl Anton von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, together with Prince Constantine von Hohenzollern-Hechingen, ceded the Hohenzollern principalities to Prussia. After approval by the Prussian chambers, Hohenzollern was united with Prussia by law of 12 March 1850. Following the incorporation of the two principalities into Prussia, the former administrative authorities were retained for the time being. Thus in the lower instance the upper offices Glatt, Haigerloch, Hechingen, Gammertingen, Trochtelfingen, Sigmaringen, Straßberg, Ostrach and Wald became Prussian authorities. When the Haigerloch Oberamt passed over to Prussia, the towns of Bietenhausen, Bittelbronn, Empfingen, Gruol, Haigerloch, Hart, Heiligenzimmern, Höfendorf, Imnau, Stetten bei Haigerloch, Trillfingen and Weildorf were included in the Oberamt district. By decree of 18 January 1854, the Oberamt Glatt was abolished and incorporated into the Oberamt Haigerloch. Thus the places Betra, Dettensee, Dettingen, Dettlingen, Dießen, Glatt and Fischingen came to the upper office Haigerloch. The Haigerloch upper office, enlarged by the Glatter Orte, did not undergo any further territorial changes during its entire existence (until 1925). By notice published in the Official Journal on 1 September 1854, the implementation of the new district organisation, i.e. the transfer of office and establishment of the new district office, was fixed for 28 September 1854 by the Viebig Commissioner-Governing Council. The files and coffers of the former Oberamt Glatt were to have been transferred to Haigerloch by the handover date. Present at the handing over were: Government Councillor and Commissioner Viebig, the former Chief Officer Stehle, the future Chief Office Executive Appellate Judge Emmele and the former administrator of the Chief Office Glatt and now Chief Office Secretary Kordeuter. From 1 January 1858, both official corporations received a joint official treasury and official cash account, the management of which had been taken over by Kordeuter. The law of 7 October 1925 concerning the simplification of the administration of the Hohenzollernsche Lande brought about the end of the Haigerloch Oberamtsbezirk by merging it with the Hechingen Oberamtsbezirk to form the Hechingen district. Until the end of 1851 the administration of the Oberamts Haigerloch Oberamtmann Harz led the Oberamtsassessor Rehmann as Oberamtsverweser from 1 January 1852 to 17 September 1852. From 17 September 1852 Oberamtmann Stehle in Straßberg was in charge of the provisional administration of the Oberamt. He was followed by Appellations Court Referendarius Emele, initially as Chief Administrator from 28 September 1854 and as Chief Administrator from 4 January 1856 until the end of June 1891. He was replaced by the Government Assessor Sauerland, first as Commissarial Chief Administrator from 1 July 1891, then as Chief Administrator from 1 January 1891. February 1892 to February 2, 1902. On February 20, 1902, Schulz-Hausmann was appointed Assessor of the Government as Commissarial Oberamtmann and on August 1, 1902 Assessor of the Government as Oberamtmann until the end of February 1914. He was succeeded on March 5, 1914 by Assessor Großpietsch as Commissarial Oberamtmann and from August 16, 1914 as Oberamtmann. Since Großpietsch was called up for military service during the World War, the business premises of the Haigerloch Oberamt were moved to Hechingen from November 1916 and the administration of the same was taken over by the Oberamtmann in Hechingen. 2nd order of the inventory The files listed here cover the period from 1850 ¿ 1925 and originate from the delivery of the Oberamt Haigerloch from 1925, the newly listed files I and to a small extent also the newly listed files II. All files are stapled according to the Prussian file stapling. This work had to be done by the Regis trator with the scribe's apprentices and the senior civil servant. Since all General Acts contain both Haigerlocher and Glatter documents, it can be assumed that the file stitching only took place after the incorporation of the Glatter Oberamtsbezirk into Haigerloch. In the case files, everything that could be found in a subject was stapled into a file cover. Many of these files therefore begin with the reign of Haigerloch-Wehrstein or the Murian reign of Glatt in the 18th century and even earlier. A separation of these provenances is not indicated because of the stapling. Instead, numerous references were included in the repertories of the princely Oberämter Haigerloch and Glatt as well as in the repertories Herrschaft Haigerloch-Wehrstein and Murische Herrschaft Glatt to complete them. The references of the Prussian Oberamt Hechingen have no numbers in the repertory. There are no land, pledge or target books in the files, because these were handed over to the newly created district court commissions by order of the Commissarius für die Hohenzollernschen Lande von Villers from 24.12.1851 to 1.1.1852. The district court commission in Hechingen was initially responsible for Haigerloch and Glatt. Although these Amtsbücher of 1850 and 1851 were not continued by the Kreisgerichtskommission in the previous form, they could not be taken to the Oberamt Haigerloch because they contain deletion notes and references to files of the Kreisgerichtskommission. In this way, the voluntary jurisdiction of the local authorities, including the keeping of the land and mortgage books, was removed, and the powers of the Oberamts were limited to the punishment of financial offences or tax defraudations (VO-Blatt of 30.1.1852) according to the previous law of 6.3.1840 (G.S. V, p. 144) and of 27.12.1842 (G.S. VI, p. 260). The systematic structuring of the repertory was carried out according to the existing old signatures and the old registry order was largely restored. A repertory of files begun in 1858, in which all accumulated files up to and including 1915 were recorded, leaves nothing to be seen apart from the 17 main groups, as the files were recorded chronologically one after the other. The present inventory comprises 40 linear metres with 2928 serial numbers. In 1968, he was removed from the newly recorded files I and listed by Government Inspector Kungl. The separation of the Haigerloch files from the newly recorded files II and from the delivery in 1925 of the Haigerloch regional office was carried out by the employee Abbot, who also helped with the packaging. Miss Queck produced fair copies and registers. Sigmaringen, summer 1968 Kungl

The present repertory is the revised version of the two official finding aids of the Prussian Government Department I Section XI Education of 1852 (see No. 2180) and of 1927 (see No. 2181). The repertories of the authorities partly agree, partly disagree. Occasionally, file numbers that had previously been regarded as order signatures were assigned twice. As the funds were used to locate authorities, amendments were made and not always in the expected places, which led to a great deal of confusion. The various entries about destruction or transfer to other registries and authorities also created confusion about the existence or location of the files. The NVA (=Newly recorded file) numbers behind the individual title entries (if at all clearly to assign) gave a certain hint that the file must have already been in the archive. - The NVA number was the first signature to be assigned in the archive, regardless of the stock to which it belonged. Later, the Prussian files were removed from the NVA inventory and stored according to the old authority signature. - However, not every file with an NVA number could be found. In addition, teacher personnel files were handed over to the following authorities: Kultministerium Württemberg-Hohenzollern and Oberschulamt Tübingen. The personal files, which did not grow there, were delivered in three deliveries (Acc. 23/1956, 1/1969 and 17/1969) from the Oberschulamt Tübingen to the Staatsarchiv Sigmaringen. The deliveries were previously separate and have only now been returned to their original place. The lack of clarity, the poor manageability and the state of conservation of the old finding aids have led to the necessity of simplifying the old signatures as well as to the present index. The first processing of the inventory took place only on the basis of the finding aids and not on the basis of the files. The content of the titles was not checked against the files, but only carefully normalised. The actual existence of the files and their duration was determined in the inventory in the magazine. Files from the hitherto unallocated part of the total holdings of the Prussian Government of Sigmaringen had to be incorporated into the present partial holdings. The personnel files from the deliveries of the Oberschulamt Tübingen were integrated. In the course of the work step of file control, notes describing physical anomalies were included in the present repertory. In addition, pre-proveniences have been demonstrated. The following pre-proveniences appear: "Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen", "Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen", "Secret Conference Sigmaringen", "Secret Conference Hechingen", "Princely Government Sigmaringen", "Princely Government Hechingen", "Prussian Interim Government Sigmaringen", "Prussian Interim Government Hechingen" and "Prussian Commissarius", "Kreisschulinspektion Beuthen", "Kreisschulinspektion Xanten", "Oberamt Hechingen", "Oberschulkommission Hechingen", "Preußische Regierung Aachen", "Preußische Regierung Arnsberg", "Preußische Regierung Danzig", "Preußische Regierung Düsseldorf", "Preußische Regierung Frankfurt an der Oder", "Prussian Government Kassel", Prussian Government Koblenz", Prussian Government Cologne", Prussian Government Königsberg", Prussian Government Köslin", Prussian Government Marienwerder", Prussian Government Münster", Prussian Government Oppeln", Prussian Government Posen", Prussian Government Trier", "Preußische Regierung Wiesbaden", "Provinzschulkollegium Berli n", "Provinzschulkollegium Berlin-Lichterfeld", "Provinzschulkollegium Koblenz", "Provinzschulkollegium Münster", "Bezirkspräsidium des Oberelsass", "Schulkommissariat Haigerloch", "Schulkommissariat Hechingen", "Schulkommission Hechingen" and "Schulkommission Sigmaringen". Post-proveniences include "Kultusministerium Württemberg-Hohenzollern", "Oberschulamt Tübingen" and "Schulamt Sigmaringen". In addition, the provenance "President of Hohenzollern - settlement agency" appears. The task of this authority was to complete the business of the Prussian government of Sigmaringen, which had been dissolved in 1945. The repertory now has a place and person index. The problem with the creation of the place index was that some places in the east of the former German Empire are now on Polish territory. In order to facilitate the understanding of contemporary administrative contexts, these places were identified according to their administrative affiliation at the time. This repertory lists all files that are listed in the list of authorities. If they could not be found, the note "not available" appears in the repertory. The state of conservation of the files is questionable, as the Prussian-stitched files were lying loose and unpacked on the shelf until recently. A further deterioration of the condition is not to be expected, however, as the files have recently been packed in an archive-compatible manner. The recording of the title recordings was carried out by the undersigned with the archival indexing program Midosa 95 in 2007. Corinna Knobloch and the undersigned checked the files in the magazine. Holger Fleischer completed the final EDP work. The present holdings comprise 1759 units of description and 40.3 linear metres and are quoted as follows: Ho 235 T 26-248 No. Sigmaringen, July 2009 Birgit Meyenberg

Tradition: Donation by Mrs. Maria Fink from Ettlingen to the General State Archive Karlsruhe in 2014. Adaptation: The collection comprises 255 propaganda photographs from the years 1917 and 1918, probably from the Bild- und Filmamt (Bufa), which was founded by the Supreme Army Command at the beginning of 1917. The undated photos were arranged in chronological order according to the photo and serial numbers as well as the image content. The exact chronological classification is difficult because it is often unclear in which context the picture was created and exactly when it was presented to the public. The pictures were probably used in the context of a "newsreel" or a "documentary film" as a poster photo. For the use of the cinematograph see also picture no. 10. Content: The German military successes of the years 1917 and 1918 occupy special space: the breakthrough in Eastern Galicia, the 12th Battle of Isonzo, the peace negotiations in Brest-Litowsk and the spring offensive in 1918 in the West (Operation Michael). Also spectacular individual acts like the return of the auxiliary cruiser "Wolf" to Kiel in February 1918 are mentioned. A personnel focus is placed on reporting on the emperor as well as Hindenburg and Ludendorff. In addition to pictures of the economic efforts on the home front, ethnologically seeming depictions of the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia, but also of the lost German colonies, appear. There are also calls for the drawing of the 8th and 9th War Bonds. Grand Duke Friedrich II of Baden appears at the welcoming of exchange prisoners in Constance (no. 196), Prince Max of Baden on the occasion of his appointment as Reich Chancellor in October 1918 (no. 255).

Preface: With the acceptance of the royal dignity at the end of 1805, Friedrich von Württemberg dissolved the Ducal Privy Council and replaced it with the Royal State Ministry. The Ministry of State was responsible for advising the monarch on general matters of state. After King Wilhelm I took office on 8 November 1816, the Privy Council was re-established as the supreme state authority directly subordinate to the king. It was composed of the ministers or heads of the various departments and of members appointed by the King. His work consisted of examining the requests and proposals of the ministries and forwarding them to the King with his expert opinions. In his capacity as the monarch's supreme advisory authority, he was also in charge of all matters relating to the estates, applications for the dismissal or retirement of civil servants, disputes between the judicial and administrative authorities, the relationship between the Church and the State, and matters specifically entrusted to him by the King. In administrative disputes, the Privy Council acted as the decisive and enacting authority, for example in appeals against decrees of the heads of department and penal findings of the administrative offices. He mediated the communication between the king and the estates, whereby he could decide independently whether or not applications from estates were suitable for submission to the king. With the establishment of the State Ministry in 1876, the Administrative Court in 1877 and the Court of Jurisdiction in 1879, the Privy Council lost much of its importance. It was repealed by the law of 15 June 1911 and, in accordance with the prominent position of the Privy Council in 19th-century state administration, its documents are of outstanding historical documentary value. The partial stock E 31 (Königlicher Geheimer Rat I), comprising 32.5 linear metres and arranged according to a rubric scheme, was probably delivered to the State Archives soon after 1876 and was used very frequently, but has so far only been insufficiently catalogued. It was therefore urgently necessary to re-draw the inventory scientifically, taking into account the existing content structure of the stock. It was carried out between December 1969 and March 1974 by the archive inspector candidates Michael Kuthe, Eric Elwert, Walter Wannenwetsch and Magdalene Rüther as well as by the State Archive referees Dr. Wilfried Schöntag, Dr. Peter Eitel, Dr. Hermann Ehmer and Dr. Norbert Georg Hofmann. The final editing of the repertory was carried out by Luise Pfeifle, archivist. She also made the register.Stuttgart, 2 November 1978Paul Sauer President of the Privy Council: Hans Otto von der Lühe18.
